Authorities seize 3 pounds of marijuana

Authorities seized 3 1/2 pounds of marijuana, packaging material, scales, grinders, more than $1,800 and a four-door BMW sedan as evidence July 19 in the 6500 block of Avenue O in Lubbock.

Deputies assigned to the Narcotics Division/Canine Unit of the Lubbock Sheriff’s Office as well as the Lubbock Police Department’s Special Operations Division responded to the location after a Crime Line tip reported the possibility of illegal activities taking place in the neighborhood, according to a news release.

The unidentified caller noticed and reported a high volume of traffic coming and going from the residence and only staying for a short amount of time.

Deputies questioned two occupants of the residence, located across from Lowrey Field, and questioned them. A warrant was issued for the residence after deputies established probable cause and a search was conducted.

Joseph Davis, 32, and Rebecca Wendt, 24, were booked into the Lubbock County Detention Center for possession of marijuana, more than 4 ounces but less than 5 pounds, in a drug-free zone, according to jail records.
